With an MA in Creative Writing and a BA in Film and Drama, I have taught in schools, colleges, universities, and conservatoires, all over the world. As a published author I have a genuine love of English Literature and the English Language and my enthusiasm is infectious. In a past life I was the Artistic Director of award winning touring theatre company. I have directed numerous theatre productions which have toured the world, including a number of Shakespeare’s plays. I have a hands on understanding of his work.

I have a passion for literature in general and bring with my teaching an extensive knowledge literary trends and historical context. I am a fervant believer that literature teaches us invaluable lessons about life in general.

I have been tutoring English for four years. Each year I have helped raised my students expectations of themselves and their marks have followed. Last year my students got some excellent results, including a couple of coveted 9s!

Tutoring Approach

My teaching focuses on:
